Two Shot During Parking‑Lot Takeover on Houston’s North Side

Harris County deputies have launched an active investigation seeking public tips as officials keep victim conditions, motive and suspect information private.

Overview

  • Early Friday morning a takeover-style gathering in the Home Depot parking lot near Eastex Freeway and Little York Road turned violent and deputies were called to the scene after gunfire.
  • Two people in their 20s were struck by gunfire; one ran into a nearby Whataburger for help and the other left the scene and was later taken to a hospital by EMS.
  • Harris County Sheriff’s Office Detective Ryan Hilz said investigators have not released the victims’ conditions, have not identified suspects and have not determined a motive.
  • Authorities ask anyone with information to contact the HCSO Violent Crimes Division or Crime Stoppers as the department continues to gather leads and review evidence.
  • The shooting adds to recent parking‑lot and street takeover incidents on Houston-area roads that have drawn intensified law-enforcement attention and multi-agency reviews.
